WACO, Texas – SIUE softball's Zoe Schafer and Alyssa Heren were named to the All-Tournament team Sunday at the Baylor Invitational after No. 24 Baylor topped SIUE 3-2 in the tourney's championship game.

"They both played well," said SIUE Head Coach Sandy Montgomery of Schafer and Heren. "That's huge for us for the future – a freshman and sophomore getting it done."

SIUE stands at 11-4 after completing its February schedule. The team's four losses have come against top-25-ranked teams.

"To be 11-4 after February is huge for us," said Montgomery. "I'm hoping we can take this momentum into Florida."

The Cougars are idle until March 7 when they travel to Clearwater, Florida, for an eight-game swing (March 7-12) that includes the USF Tournament at the University of South Florida.

Schafer said she expects her team will get to practice and not let up after a strong start.

"There's a few things that we need to improve," the redshirt freshman said.
